What hearing protection?

[Evan Thomas]

Thanks, John. I've been looking at the Peltors, and that's a good recommendation. And a great tip about the gel pads... I think I'll have to get some for the shop muffs, as well.

Just for interests sake....there's a few pages of discussion on the subject of hearing protection, decibels, levels and the like over at

Man you guys are high tech! In the "Old Days" I remember sticking spent 9mm Luger cases in my ears (they fit perfectly).

these are only 22dB protection but they work great for me...

though im not sure if there is really a difference between the two ends

Winston ear plugs

In the 'old days' (60's) we used cigarette butt filters. They were better than nothin!

Toolman I remember doing that also! It was best to use an unsmoked filter though.
